Questionnairewith Biju Borbaruah onAshaDarshan

AshaDarshan-One of the longest supported project by theAshaSilicon Valley chapter started in 2001 to promote education in a rural poverty ridden area by funding related infrastructure and mid day meals. Emphasis is also made on providing vocation skills that will raise standard of living and spread awareness about peoples rights and responsibilities.

  1. What are the job of field workers?

They visit the villages in violence affected Bodo area for multiple reasons. They talk to the people to create awareness about different initiatives (Self-Help-Groups, Mahila-Shanti-Sena) and also convey the importance of sending kids to school.

Number : 7 (2 –Schools, 2- MSS , 3 - SHG)

2.What is the qualification of health worker?

They are trained nurses who help out students as well as staff whenever the need arises. One of their jobs is to cultivate hygienic habits among students and create awareness about seasonal diseases and prevention. They also take the people in need of urgent care to hospitals & recommend others to see doctors on a case by case basis.

3.What is the difference between the weaving instructors & weavers? Why do they have to learn weaving since they must already know the native way?

Weaving instructors to teach them to weave and one weaver who does full time weaving. The locals and women from far away uses the looms only for training.

There are 2 kinds of weaving - traditional and modern (like greeting cards). The traditional approach is time-consuming and can take weeks for making simple designs. The weaving equipment purchased are mostly mechanical (hand operated) and can be very expensive (Rs.20,000 /machine).

Is training/ new handloom yielding anything?

Most of the handlooms are old and some of bamboo ones have been replaced with iron ones, thanks to Khadi Gram Udyog.. Weavers are given yarn and access to machines and are provided with salary. Typically 3-4 days are spent on a sari. The instructors are for teaching and helping create new designs while the salaried weavers help in creating the actual end products sold in the outlet. There are 9 weaving machines but only 3 are currently active. The remaining 6 machines are used intermittently based on the frequency of women visiting from neighboring villages.

4.. What are the details of the healthcare cost (Rs 2,00,000)?

This cost covers 1st aid kit given to students and any emergency healthcare needed for students as well as staff and women workers.

5.What does the traveling cost (Rs.1,50,000).include?

This covers cost of commuting between schools for teachers and other staff members.

6.Why was GramyaVikas Mancha, Nalbari selected for the training of the teachers, SHGs and MSS? What training do they provide and why spend money on them?

GVM train teachers and have a proven track record of training Government teachers. For some reason the efforts to seek help from TISS (Tata Institute of Social Sciences) didn't materialize and hence, help was sought from GVM. Several trained teachers left for better paying Government jobs and hence there was a need for training more teachers. On another note, some micro-finance experts and bank managers are also invited for Self-Help-Group training and awareness creation.

General Questions about the project

------

1.How doesAshaDarshanevaluate its school's intervention for kids? What are some of the few key successes thatAshaDarshanbelieves that it has been able to achieve in the last decade?

The project started a long time ago in conflict zone of Assam and Biju has been active since Nov 1998. Kids didn't go to school due to few and far apart Govt schools and wasted time playing all day. Extremist activity affected normal functioning of schools and people stopped going due to fear as well. Child labor was also rampant.AshaDarshanschools helped by providing access to education and changing mindset of people regarding education. Many incidents of child marriage have been avoided sinceAshaDarshanand lot of awareness has been created regarding education of girl child. One such girl came back to helpAshaDarshanafter finishing her 12th grade. But very few students are able to go beyond 10th grade due to lack of financial support. Some of them end up migrating to cities where they work in hotels and restaurants or do labor-intensive jobs.

2015 Class X Update - 16 passed with Second Class from 20 students who took the exams.

2. How does the education model add value to the lives of the kids in the area? What are the overall effects the schools have had on the local economy over the past few decades?

-already answered above

3.What are the objectives of the SHG today? What are their plans to make SHG members economically independent by pooling money for shared equitable growth and improving local economy?

Some of the success stories of SHGs include: 1.buying a wagon/cart for hauling things, 2.buying goat and chicken for broiler farms, 3.loan for miscellaneous purposes like renovating grocery store. This initiative has been a life-saver for many as banks refuse to give loans.

4. Finally, between the schools and SHGs components, how do you see your intervention today? What has changed since SHG were started and in what fashion should your intervention change (if at all) for the future?

-answered above

5. What do education co-ordinators do? What is their vision for the future? What are they trying to achieve through "education"?

The education model ofAshaDarshandoesn't focus on creating skilled labor but on causing a change in the society and its mindset. They want to create awareness, prevent illiteracy/violence/joblessness, prevent human-trafficking, make use of land and improve local infrastructure gradually. It’s a long haul and efforts are in progress towards the same by means of schools, Self-Help-Groups and Mahila-Shanti-Sena.

  • The goal of organizing the summer camp: The socio economic conditions of the students in Tamulpur are not rosy. The students in Tamulpur belong to poor families and find very difficult to continue their studies in the long run. It is usual that the students leave or drop out from schools due to lack of financial support of the parents. In some cases the young students have to work as wage labor or domestic worker to support ailing parents and their kins. On the other hand students have the caliber and desire to learn something new for their knowledge. If we observe the other aspect of summer vacation, most of the students loiter without productive and constructive works. This summer camp would accumulate students and help them to learn their interest/choice which would be helping hand to their parents in the near future.
  • Selection criteria for the participants: School will represent candidates from their respective schools.
  • The program would be led by AD with support from external and internal resource persons designated for specific sessions.
  1. . Give a detailed description on the training provided to SHG and MSS separately.

Who provides their training, the number of people involved and the agenda of the training session?

Response:

Introduction:Self help groups (SHG) and MSS have been accepted as an institution or platform to work towards social and economic development of the society. Tamulpur is inhabited by multi lingual and cultural people. The task of bringing together women groups would enable the situations in the areas to be in peace and tranquility. Lack of economic development doesn’t ensure the development or social empowerment of the sections of women. They will have to be appraised with the concept of economic and social empowerment. The training would feature sustainable livelihood activities and general financial management. It is seen that due to lack of knowledge on financial management, SHGs have encountered lots of problems like audit and limited bank linkages. While SHGs are directly working on livelihood activities, while the role of MSS is pivotal in the region keeping in view of the turbulent situation in the area. As such, apart from equipping them with skills on finance management, the MSS members would be imparted specially designed sessions on peace-building and advocacy.So this would be an opportunity for the women group to learn on specific issues comprehensively.
